I found a sake I had never seen before at Takimoto, so I bought this one from among several varieties they had.
There were very few bubbles in the glass. But there was no gassy feeling.
The initial aroma was of rice and a trace of melon. It has a graininess and a trace of sweetness and spiciness. It's more refreshing than I expected. Maybe it is the type that is better served warmed?
The bitterness and astringency seem to stay in the mouth for a long time.
I think it's better to drink it a little later than when it's fresh out of the fridge.
It's basically dry, but not the type I don't like.
It's great with food.
It is easier to drink after a few days as the bitterness becomes less pronounced.
I thought it was more like a classic, as Kotori wrote in her review.

I was a little worried 😅I didn't try heating it up for a few days to find out what the bitter and astringent taste on the palate was... but I guess it's possible if it's a food sake 🤗.

Hello Kotori 😃
The one I bought didn't have the date on it either 🙄 so it's a mystery if that's the policy or they forgot to print it 🤔.
In the end I didn't try heating it up either 😅
